imperium3

For PBEM games, does every player need to do this or just the one running the turns?

You get NM for: - winning battles in which you destroy a lot of enemy elements. - capturing one of a very limited number of objective cities, including the ones set in your initial warplan. These are listed in the ledger. - making a besieged enemy garrison surrender without a fight. This one is a bi...

Didn't know there was an Assault Troop RGD.

Assault troops are meant for doing a lot of damage at close range. So kind of like cavalry they help you do a lot more damage when you win a battle, but they are a lot tougher than cavalry.

I think it is good to use in key battles where every little helps. Especially if you get the first-use bonuses.

Cavalry are the only exploitation force of this era. They move fast on the campaign map, and make good scouts, raiders, or leaders of a breakthrough (don't give them supply units though, those will slow them down). They also have high assault values so larger armies containing cavalry will tend to i...

As you have seen, the automatic replacements are not very smart. I only use manual. It's generally not that much micromanagement (except maybe for the WE with their many nationalities) and in any case I tend to prioritise buying new units over replacing existing ones. Perhaps replacements are more i...

Yeah, they're pretty pointless. About the only thing I can think they might be useful for is to intercept Serbian riverboats... But I'm doubtful Serbia can even build those.

Based on the similar issue I had, I would suggest investigating the Western Entente's order file. Ours got corrupted somehow, which became obvious as the WE player found when he tried to reload that order file and it crashed straight away. So as a first resort, ask your WE player to redo their orders.

Yes, forts do surrender. It's quite nice when they do because the attacker gets 1 NM and the defender loses 1 NM, which you won't usually get from storming the place. In general, forts seem more likely to surrender if the besieging force is large, there are no friendly troops nearby, and the besiege...

Huh, I never knew you could do this. Good to know.

I don't think prisoners do anything in this game except perhaps an opportunity for bragging rights. I do wonder if, e.g., knocking Russia out of the war lets the CP get some prisoner manpower back, but I haven't checked.

I think it's a feature left in from other Ageod games which use the same engine.

You are not limited in the number of armies you can have, or at least if you are then the limit is quite high. To create an army stack, you need: - A 3 star general. - CinC within range (a couple of provinces usually though it seems a bit unpredictable). Default CinCs for the CP are Falkenhayn and H...

Issue resolved by redoing the Western Entente orders. It seems the order file got corrupted somehow, as they also crashed the game when the player tried to load them.

The game crashes with a critical error when I try to run the turn (playing CP). Seems to be a similar error message to that reported in other threads here. The relevant section from !Main.txt is: 10:51:28 (Reporting) Starting Hosting Phase Turn 8 313584 kb 10:51:28 (Reporting) Gamesim data (excludin...

I know you need at least 25% MC to be able to rail into a province. What I am trying to understand is the ins and outs of this. If I have a unit in a province with, say, 10% MC, it will of course increase the MC. But when is this calculated? Is it an hourly/daily increase or once per turn? Assuming ...

In a PBEM game I'm currently playing (as Ottomans) I took the Expert Embassies national modifier, which according to the description is supposed to give access to the "Expert Ambassador" RGD. I've no idea what it does, but it seemed more useful than anything else I had available (bonuses to infantry...
